An anonymous reader writes “This just in: a new [0]‘compromise’ FISA Bill
(PDF) was just made public, which, the Electronic Frontier Foundation
reports, ‘[1]contains blanket immunity for telecoms that helped the NSA
break the law and spy on millions of ordinary Americans.’ The House vote
is tomorrow, June 20. After all the [2]secret [3]rooms and everything …
if they get immunity and the public never finds out what happened, the
only other logical next step is to convince everyone I know not to get an
iPhone.” [4]CNN covers this get-out-of-lawsuit play as well.
